Virtual Choose France Tour 2021, an initiative from Campus France, creates awareness among students on the French system's various career and educational opportunities.
“Knowledge is the key to emancipation,” an idea deeply embedded in French society. The French education system nurtures an ambitious objective of providing intellectual and ethical knowledge to its students. Exposure to a diverse culture offers the potential to think differently. And sharing views and perspectives as well as celebrating differences is something that is warmly welcomed and appreciated in France.
France is also a global education hub at par with some of the most well-known education systems around the globe. It has more than 17 programmes in the top 50 QS Rankings 2020, 71 Nobel Prizes, and 14 Fields Medals. Research and innovation are a priority in France, and a new multi-annual programming reform with a 25-billion-euro budgetary allocation will enable France to remain a beacon of European research.
More and more students consider France a study destination attracted by the multicultural, secular, and traditionally rich yet technologically advanced society. And language is no barrier! French universities today offer more than 1650 programmes in English.
In 2018, the governments of India and France signed an agreement for mutual recognition of degrees. This implies that your academic qualification in France will be recognized in India and vice versa. This agreement, the only one that India has signed to recognize degrees, creates a favourable ground for students from both countries. An Education in France can also open up opportunities with the over 1000 French companies and their subsidiaries based in India. The France Alumni network that every student becomes part of further facilitates networking, job hunting, and more.
France is the epicentre of European culture with its capital Paris, providing access to all of Europe. Students from any French institution possess an opportunity to travel to and explore careers and academic growth anywhere in Europe.
The French government and educational institutions have ensured international students a safe and secure sojourn (stay) in France even during the challenging period of the pandemic.
The Embassy of France in India offers scholarships worth Rs.11 crores to 500 Indian students annually through its Campus France network and additionally through Franco-India Education Trust. There are other scholarships available to students over and above these programmes.
Campus France provides students free counselling services, facilitates admission procedures and visa formalities as well as interaction with French institutions. Campus France holds biannual education fairs where students intending to study in France meet representatives of top institutions one-on-one.
One of the main initiatives of Campus France is Choose France Tour (CFT), which is a platform that creates awareness among students regarding the career and educational opportunities that the French system offers. Through seminars and webinars, it provides a platform where dozens of French schools and institutions (including management and engineering schools, public universities, and specialized schools in hospitality and arts) gather to meet Indian students on one platform.
This unique opportunity for one-on-one meetings with the schools allows students to share their CVs and receive free counselling directly from the schools on how to apply.
The next Choose France Tour is scheduled online on 24th and 25th September 2021.
One can interact on virtual booths, engage in live chats, one-on-one meetings, visit virtual auditoriums for live presentations by school representatives & Alumni, and participate in space for quizzes and games. Students, parents, universities, and faculties can also sign up for eight exciting webinars on a range of subjects. Choose France Tour is the authentic place to explore study options abroad and make informed career choices.
